Seasons of the Spirit celebrates the Season of Creation during the first four weeks of September
(Sep 3–Sep 24). Resources for the Season of Creation are based on scripture texts from the three-year Season of Creation cycle
of readings.
The Season of Creation
The readings for the Season of Crea- tion invite congregations to join with all members of Earth’s community to “celebrate Earth as a sacred planet filled with God’s vibrant presence” (from Season of Creation charter). In 2017, the four Sundays in the Season of Creation focus on the Forest, Land, Wilderness/Outback, and River.
Revised Common Lectionary resources for the first four weeks of September
Seasons of the Spirit also provides RCL resources for the first four weeks in September. These resources follow the SeasonsFUSION format, and weekly session flow. Suggestions are pro- vided to help SeasonsENCORE users adapt the materials to the needs of their particular group(s).
These alternative RCL resources for September are available online only and can be accessed by any Seasons Leader using PRINT, DISK, or WEB delivery. Instruc- tions for how to access the online RCL materials are included in the Season of Creation PRINT resources, and are automatically included with the DISK and WEB resources.
